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 and crushed the evil spirit like a heavy chariot.
The evil spirit was immediately alerted. It turned around and swung its magic saber at Mengqi. The Knife Qi was surrounded by black fog, like 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 quickly lifted his right hand and played the "Seize" sound of the Eight Voices of the Heavenly Dragon. The evil spirit was stunned. Its Vital Spirit was shaken as if it was about to be seized.
Mengqi seized this opportunity. Like a phantom, he made a strange turn and dodged the saber Qi. He appeared 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.
Rumble!
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 Golden Dragon Stripe Sword. A cold light, like a hornless dragon with a faint blue light, slashed at the evil spirit from afar.
Wherever the cold light passed, the demonic Qi froze and turned into pieces of black snow. Like the ashes of burnt paper, they slowly fell down.
The sword light hit the paralyzed evil spirit, deepening the blade wound and penetrating its body. Dark red blood spurted out, but before it fell to the ground, it had already frozen into ice crystals, like blood stains frozen in the air.
The evil spirit was shrouded in ice. It struggled with all its might, making creaking sounds and tearing obvious cracks.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiwei arrived. With the Sword of the Sun-Penetrating Rainbow, which was used to intimidate the evil spirit, she slashed from between the eyebrows to the throat.
Crack! The thin layer of ice on the evil spirit's face immediately shattered, but its head was also split in two. Black fluid gushed out, and the seriously injured Vital Spirit drilled into its body.
The authentic evil spirit was much more tenacious than the product of the Demonic 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.
Under the joint efforts of the five people, the evil spirit, which was slightly stronger than Snake King, was killed on the spot without any resistance. Mengqi did not even have the time to stab with the sword in his left hand.
A relatively complete team fighting together was extremely terrifying!
The dark demonic Qi in the evil spirit's body rolled and condensed as its body collapsed, turning into a dark demonic crystal. Its whole body either turned into blood or entered the demonic crystal, leaving only a blood-red spine. Its surface was as smooth as jade, but there was violence and cruelty hidden within.
"Blood-red Demon Bone, a good material for refining weapons." Ruan Yushu followed up and commented.
Mengqi turned to Zhao Heng and said, "Let her keep it first. When we go back, we'll exchange it for Karma points and share it equally."
"Okay." Zhao Heng answered indifferently, which made Mengqi think that he was a tycoon who did not care about small "money".
After keeping the Blood-red Demon Bone and demonic crystal, Mengqi and the others did not dare to go any deeper. They searched for other evil spirits nearby.
After going around a forest by the river, Mengqi's eyes suddenly widened. He saw the huge golden swastika right in front of him. He did not know whether it was close or far, but it was right in front of him. The glazed Buddha light and the Zen demonic roar were exactly the same as before.
"Why is it here?
Didn't we deliberately go in the opposite direction? "
Countless thoughts surged in Mengqi's mind. He turned to look at Jiang Zhiwei and the others, who all had the same surprised expression.
"There shouldn't be many Primogenitor Devils suppressed by the Buddha 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 will reach the True Devil of the Buddha light."
"It's possible that when Buddhist Monk Jiuzhen crushed Primogenitor Devil and sealed it, he also suppressed the surrounding evil spirits, making them unable to walk out of this area. No matter how they go, they will return to the core. The entrance of the passage to the Demonic World is the evil spirits' attempt to escape …" Jiang Zhiwei speculated based on her own experience.
Ruan Yushu was just about to speak when a bloody shadow suddenly leaped out of the river. It was blurry and looked like a human. The smell of blood and filth permeated the air, causing Meng Qi to tremble uncontrollably.
"An evil spirit that has just entered the Exterior level?"
Mengqi was shocked and stunned, but he did not have time to draw his blade. The bloody shadow was so fast that it could not be seen. It pounced on Jiang Zhiwei.
The bloody light flashed and the sound of breaking could be heard. It failed to penetrate Jiang Zhiwei's body and devour her flesh and blood.
"Water-based Fish-scale Soft Armor?" Mengqi was overjoyed. His spirit surged, and a warm and clean flame suddenly lit up in his chest.
A bluish-white lamp slowly floated up and stood in front of Meng Qi. Its light was neither bright nor resplendent, but it spread out warmly without a trace of evil. It illuminated every corner of the surroundings, and not even a shadow could be seen. A sense of tranquility and solemnity pervaded the air.
"Amitabha."
"What are you doing, Damiho?"
The bloody shadow suddenly screamed, and 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 Tower!" Mengqi roared with his blade, "Heaven Inflicted Pain" in his right hand and "Flowing Fire" in his left.
He was not of the Exterior level, and the Buddha's Lamp was broken. It was difficult for him to purify this evil spirit that had just entered the Exterior level!
When the bloody shadow pounced on Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu had already taken out the Demon Subduing Tower. He took advantage of the influence of the Buddha's Lamp to cast it.
The seven-story Glazed Pagoda shone brightly, and on each floor, there were images of Arhats and Bodhisattvas, each preaching sutras.
The Buddha's Glazed Light fell, and the bloody shadow had nowhere to hide in the light of the bluish-white lamp. It could not escape 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 ray of sunset glow crossing the sky. It was too beautiful to be taken in at all. There were no changes, and there was no way out. It went straight for Bloodskin.
With this strike, the bluish-white lamp dimmed and shrank back to its original size, hanging on Mengqi's chest again.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle. The Flowing Fire pierced through the bloody skin as if it was burning grease, creating a clear hole. The flames spread and burned every inch of its skin with extreme Yang intensity.
The bloody demon screamed as if it was in pain.
Without the light of the bluish white lamp, it regained some of its mobility. However, it was no longer as difficult to catch as before. Qi Zhengyan followed closely behind Meng Qi and displayed the Thousand-mile Ice. The cold light turned into Sword Qi and once again brought along black snow. Layers upon layers of ice were frozen and sparkling, trapping the Blood Demon within.
Jiang Zhiwei adjusted her breath and used this opportunity to attack without holding back. The Buddha's Light dimmed, and there seemed to be only a bright sword light between heaven and earth.
The sword light followed a certain pattern and easily penetrated the ice, pointing between the eyebrows of the bloody demon skin. The Sword Qi surged, and the deterrent effect of the evil spirit was obvious, mincing the Vital Spirit.
The Dragon of Qi behind Zhao Heng condensed. With a slap of his left palm, it opened up and swallowed the bloody demon 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 not to be harmed by normal means, they would not have survived. The 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. Then, he would use the Sky Thunder and a trace of Eight Groups Sky Dragon Fire to try and kill the evil spirit. At that time, if Zhiwei and Zhao Heng had similar means, 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 Magic 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 and flew out. Without it, Jiang Zhiwei might have died on the spot just now, unless her master had given her another life-saving measure.
The fish scale 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 scale armor had been broken by the Flame-scorching Devilman's last strike when they were besieged at the Mountain God Temple. It couldn't 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 Magic 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.
"Okay." Ruan Yushu didn't say anything else. Qi Zhengyan only nodded.
Jiang Zhiwei nodded gently. "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 Magic 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, at the core suppressed by the swastika, a demonic roar drowned out the Zen chants. A black hurricane emerged and blew in all directions!
