Clang! Clang!
Thousands of feet away, the young man and the rest of the team watched as the city gate closed and the Restrictive Spell was activated. The black-scaled horses slowed down instinctively in the face of the murderous formation and gradually came to a stop.
Their hope, joy, and encouragement froze on their faces. Their eyes were filled with despair and pain. No amount of numbness could conceal the change in their emotions.
Woo! Woo!
Suddenly, a demonic sound came from behind them. It sounded like a wolf howling and a sorrowful sob, one after another, shaking the sky.
The young man subconsciously turned his head and looked at the sky. In the misty morning light, dark clouds and black fog danced together, covering a small part of the sky.
There seemed to be countless particles of smoke inside, but as they drifted hundreds of miles away, the young man and the rest of the team could see them more clearly. They were huge demons and ghosts. Some had red eyes and were terrifying, some had tongues sticking out and hanging in front of their chests, some had bulging stomachs and it was difficult to see their heads and feet, some were rotten meat with messy hands and feet, some were naked with breasts as big as dry sacks, and some had wings on their backs that seemed to be able to carry a lake when spread out.
Below them was a dense expanse of the Ninth Hell army. Some of them had dragon heads and horse bodies that emanated black flames, some had three heads and six arms and were completely dark green in color, some had bodies that were like smoke that flickered indeterminately, and some had mouths wide open to reveal numerous fangs that had traces of flesh and blood hanging on them.
At a glance, they covered the mountains and the plains, blocking out the sky and the sun, as if all the plants had turned into soldiers. The young man seemed to be able to see the horrifying faces with long drool flowing in front of him, and he could vaguely smell the smell of blood and filth. Woo!
"Woo …" Frightened out of his wits, he heard a sorrowful whine. The Black Scaled Horse beneath him was intimidated by this sight and aura, and it knelt down softly. All the horses in the team knelt down one after another, crawling on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
"It's over …" The young man looked at the real "demonic tide" and felt his hands and legs go weak. He could not summon the will to struggle at all.
They did not need to do anything. A demon could drown them with just a mouthful of saliva!
It was not until today that he truly experienced the horror and insignificance described in many novels, the extreme horror brought by the demonic tide, and his own insignificance when facing the demonic tide.
"It's over …" Many of the children in the carriage were so frightened that they forgot to cry.
"They're doomed …" The experts of the Exterior and the Enlightened Apertures masters who witnessed this scene sighed with sympathy. If the city was breached, they, their families, and their friends would all be waiting for death in despair.
Therefore, the demon tide was a nightmare that everyone who had experienced it would never want to recall. Unfortunately, if they were lucky and did not die tragically, they would often experience a few demon tides in their lifetime. How could they not collapse, be depressed, and be numb to it?
Baozhen, the lord of the Pingle City, was standing on the city wall above the city gate. He was overlooking the demon tide in the distance and silently deducing the intensity of the demon tide this time.
He was severely injured by the demon tide last time and was stuck in the Seventh Heaven. However, he was still one of the most powerful cultivators in Pingle City.
"He?" Baozhen's face was pale as if he had lost a lot of blood. However, his strong heartbeat and the sound of blood flowing like a surging river all proved that he was vigorous. At this moment, his expression changed slightly. He squinted his eyes and looked at the farthest place of the demon tide as if he was facing a formidable enemy!
There seemed to be a hill there. However, if one looked carefully, he would find that the grayish-white rocks were actually muscles, and the gurgling river under the cover of the soil was the never-ending blood. The color of the river was greenish-black, which was extremely strange.
His head was the peak of the mountain, and the two deep cracks were where his eyes were. His face was full of wrinkles, but he vaguely looked a little elastic.
Dong, dong, dong!
The mountain of flesh moved forward step by step, and the earth shook again and again as if there was an earthquake.
"The Roushan Demon!" The expert of the Exterior beside Baozhen blurted out.
Yes, the Roushan Demon, the one who had seriously injured him in the last demon tide! Baozhen clenched his fists and looked at the Roushan Demon in the void.
Crackle! Their Qi Ji collided with each other, and there were many electric sparks bursting out.
Baozhen did not move, and his momentum was steady like a vast ocean without any waves.
He had learned his lesson from the last time, and he planned to hold his ground and wait for the demons, who had never been united, to gradually fight against each other. At that time, it would be the time to drive them back to the Nine Serenities!
As for the Roushan Demon, Baozhen was afraid that he could not defeat him. The Roushan Demon was the mainstay of the last dozen demon tides, and his strength was close to that of a Grandmaster of the Ninth-fold Heaven.
Because the human race did not know how to address the Roushan Demon, they all referred to him as the Roushan Demon. Although the Roushan Demon was heavy and huge, he was actually good at Taoist magic. He was very talented, and it was extremely difficult to deal with him.
With the help of the formation, Baozhen cut off the entangling Qi Ji, and his spirit spread out to cover the whole Pingle City. He confirmed every detail to ensure that there would be no accidents due to negligence in the fierce battle later.
The Roushan Demon had appeared in the first demon tide, and the intensity of the demon tide this time was probably not seen in 500 years!
"Fortunately, the gap is just a gap, and there is no way for the truly powerful Evil Gods and Demon Lords in the Nine Serenities to pass through. Otherwise, everything will be over soon …" Baozhen sighed with emotion.
At this time, many farmers rushed to the city gate with their wives and children. They did not dare to touch the Restrictive Spell, so they could only kneel down and kowtow, asking to open the gate.
"Thump, thump, thump!" All the adults and children kowtowed until their foreheads were bleeding, but the Exterior Realm and Apertures Enlightened Masters on the city wall were not moved.
Although it was very cruel, they could only be cruel if they did not want to implicate more people!
"Thump, thump, thump!" The kowtowing continued. At this time, a hoarse and trembling voice came into their ears, "Run up the mountain, and it depends on your luck whether you can escape or not. I will stay here and help you cover the retreat."
They turned around in surprise and saw the young man pulling out his long sword and standing behind them. His eyes were red, and his legs were a little trembling, but his back was straight and did not bend at all.
Cover the retreat? After saying this, the young man looked back into the distance, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. If the evil spirit rushed to the front, he would be like a stone falling into the sea, and he might not even be able to make a ripple.
He only hoped that he could slightly attract the attention of the evil spirit!
With a long sword in hand, the young man stood proudly outside the city. There were many companions around him. Their skin was tanned, and their expressions were determined.
The evil spirit was getting closer and closer, and the feeling of evil and horror came to him from afar, which made his hands and feet weak, and made him see illusions frequently.
The young man closed his eyes, trying to get rid of the illusions. In his mind, he saw his mother spinning around the stove, his father who was always coughing but always urged him to practice Kung Fu, and his sister who looked at him with admiration. Everything was so warm, but also so far away.
"I'm going to die. You have to live well …" The young man whispered. His eyes were red, and he just wanted to turn around and kowtow three times to the Pingle City to repay his family's kindness.
At this moment, six figures appeared in front of him. The leader was wearing a green robe and had an unsophisticated face.
Before the city gate was closed, Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others seized the opportunity to escape, followed by Qin Shuanglian. Qin Shuanghua and her elder sister had depended on each other for many years, so she also ran out on impulse.
Once again, she faced the crowd of demons. Without the protection of the Restrictive Spell and the isolation of the city wall, the crowd of demons was clearer and more terrifying than the last time. The overwhelming number of demons and the powerful momentum that could shake the earth made her feel a deep sense of despair.
This was an undefeatable enemy!
"You, why did you come out?" Qin Shuanghua could not help but ask, as if her heart was being clenched by a devil's hand.
At the same time, she felt a little sad. Her grandmasters and masters did not flinch in the face of such a horrible crowd of demons. They were the morning light of the human race!
"If we don't come out, how can we find the crack of the Nine Serenities and close it?" Mengqi answered casually.
Close the crack of the Nine Serenities? Do they really want to close the crack of the Nine Serenities? Qin Shuanghua was in a daze.
At this time, they did not stay in the city. Obviously, they were not traitors or demons in disguise.
Mengqi turned his head to look at the young man and others, and said to Jiang Zhiwei, "You protect them, I will go and think about it."
"Okay." Jiang Zhiwei nodded and did not try to be brave. Although she wanted to test the sword with the demons, it was more appropriate to let Meng do something similar.
Mengqi patted his clothes, touched his changed chin, and looked at Ruan Yushu with a smile.
"Match it with a suitable piece of music."
After that, without waiting for Ruan Yushu to answer, he put his hands behind his back and walked toward the crowd of demons step by step. With every step, his figure flashed more than ten miles away. It looked like he was strolling, but in fact, he was close to the horizon in a few breaths.
Ruan Yushu opened her mouth slightly, revealing a row of grain-sized teeth. She bit her lower lip slightly, let the Phoenix-Perching Zither float in the air, and pressed her hands on the strings.
"Who is that?"
"What does he want to do?"
The experts of the Exterior and the Enlightened Master Pros on the city wall saw the figure in a green robe walking in the opposite direction, but they did not know what was going on.
Judging from the elegance of the Shrinking Distance, his strength must be extraordinary. Was it because he could not enter the city that he wanted to fight to the death with the demons? Or was it because he thought too highly of himself that he could kill some of the demons and escape unscathed?
After killing the evil spirit, Leader Li was heavily injured and exhausted. He could only lie on a rock beside the road and watch the tide of evil spirits coming closer and closer!
Suddenly, he saw a figure in a green robe appear in front of him. Before he could change his mood, the figure waved his left hand and he flew backward. It was as if he was riding on a cloud, floating in the air.
"Pa!" He landed on the ground with both feet, but there was no shock at all. Most of the figures in front of him were his familiar companions!
"This …" He suddenly turned to look at the demon tide.
There were tens of thousands of demons in front of Mengqi, but the demons in front of him were more than tens of thousands. They were so dense that they seemed to cover the vast land.
Just then, the sound of a zither rang out. It was mainly soothing, but there was a hint of depression in it. It was like the calm before the storm, intense and ready to erupt at any time.
Meng Qi stepped forward with his hands clasped behind his back. He had already entered the range of the evil spirit's attack. For a moment, flying arrows, hand axes, scales, long horns, black lights, and other objects rose into the air like a humongous swarm of buzzing mosquitoes. They blotted out the sky and cast a shadow over Meng Qi.
Mengqi did not draw his blade or attack. He continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back, as if he was on an excursion.
Many black arrows fell to the ground, but Mengqi was unharmed. He had already stepped into the demon tide and was swallowed by the sea.
"What does he want to do?" The experts of the Exterior on the city wall were completely confused. If they wanted to kill the evil spirit, they could do it now. If they had high ambitions and planned to assassinate the leader of the evil spirit, then they would have to speed up and try to catch them off guard!
The Roushan Demon, who was the furthest away, had two smooth arms hanging on both sides of his body. They were covered with patterns. He looked at the place that was flooded by the attacks with his gray and cold eyes. He was a little confused, but he did not make a move. On the one hand, he wanted to see what the man in the green robe wanted to do. On the other hand, he believed that so many demons and ghosts were enough to swallow him. At the same time, he believed that if there was any change, he could stop it in time!
After a while, the demons got closer and closer. Leader Li and the young man could clearly see the ferocious face of the huge demon. Qin Shuanghua was surprised and confused. Her eyes kept wandering between Jiang Zhi Wei and the crowd of demons. How could they be so calm?
Mengqi stopped and nodded slightly. The distance was just right.
The bone knives and black thorns attacked from all directions, leaving no gap in the light. Mengqi chose to ignore them. He put his right hand into the sleeve of his left hand and slowly took out an orange-yellow long knife. The flame was jumping.
All of a sudden, Ruan Yushu changed the tune of her zither. The passion that had been suppressed for a long time gushed out, piercing through the clouds and splitting the rocks.
He raised the long knife and the flame condensed. He slashed down fiercely and hit the air.
When he entered the Nine Serenities, the demons and ghosts were beheaded!
A golden flame exploded. The demons and ghosts that were closest to the flame were burnt to ashes before they could even make a sound.
The flame seemed to have been suppressed for a long time. It expanded rapidly and engulfed the land that was covered with demons in an instant.
The wrinkled face of the Roushan Demon trembled. He only had time to put up a shield made of black water in front of him. Then, he felt the scorching heat and the terrifying impact. It seemed to be no different from the core!
Golden light flickered as a four-winged demon was ignited. Like a bright torch, it fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a plop. It was exactly ten miles away from the young man and Leader Li.
Thump, thump. The demons in the sky fell down like dumplings. Their huge bodies were burned and shrunk, leaving only charcoal.
Even so, the charcoal was piled up like a small mountain, and the nearest border was also ten li away from the city.
The East Wind blooms on a thousand trees at night, and the East Wind blows down stars like rain. The young man stares blankly at the scene in front of him, as if he is still trapped in an illusion.
The flames soon subsided, and the boundless land was scorched black. Countless demons had been turned into ashes. Ten miles away from the city was like a line between life and death. Those who crossed it would live, and those who didn't would die!
Previously, it was densely packed, but now, it was completely empty. The strong visual contrast made everyone suck in a breath of cold air.
Baozhen withdrew his spirit from all over the city, and no longer cared about anything else. He looked at the battlefield in horror.
Did he just destroy the demon tide in this gap with one slash?
This is simply unprecedented, and I'm afraid that no one will be able to do it in the future!
On the empty land, there were only two figures left. One was Mengqi, and the other was the Roushan Demon.
The sound of the zither changed again, producing a clanging sound, like the sound of gold and iron colliding. There was a slight pause between the two sounds.
Clang!
Mengqi stepped out with his right foot, and his figure appeared more than ten miles away.
The Roushan Demon came back to his senses and roared. He raised his hands, and all the patterns lit up one after another. In the air, a flame composed of pure black demon flame appeared. The horn on its head was clear, and it bared its teeth, looking terrible and ferocious.
A total of nine Black Dragons of Demonic Flame were formed. They spiraled into the air and connected their heads to their tails, twisting into a monstrous giant dragon. The flames caused the surroundings to shake and blur, turning the surroundings pitch-black. Then, the dragon flew toward Meng Qi!
"Nine Dragon Demon Flame!" Baozhen took a light breath. The last time they fought, he had suffered a great loss because of this evil magic. It was full of insidious poison. Once it touched his body, it would penetrate through his Zhen Yuan and Form, penetrate into his body, and burn his internal organs. Even if he was lucky enough to suppress it and extinguish it, he would be infected with the fire poison, which was difficult to expel. Every two o 'clock in the afternoon, he would feel the pain of being pricked by thousands of needles.
The nine black demon flame dragons fell, and Mengqi's eyes were still looking straight ahead. He held the long blade in his right hand, and casually put his left hand behind his back. Boom!
The demon dragon hit him, and the black flame was like a waterfall falling from the sky.
Clang!
As the sound of the zither sounded, Mengqi appeared more than ten miles away. His green robe was fluttering, and his exposed skin was covered with a pale golden light. He looked like a Buddha, and he was safe and sound.
The Nine Dragon Demon Flame seemed to be just a tickle to him.
"This …" Baozhen was speechless, and his eyes were full of shock.
The Roushan Demon's gray eyes were full of fire, and he became more violent. He suddenly put his hands together, and then slowly pulled them apart. A black lightning appeared out of thin air, and the crackling sound was illusory and terrifying.
After it was stretched to about a foot long, it suddenly jumped out and attacked Mengqi at the speed of lightning.
"The Real Thunder of Destruction!" Baozhen thought of the last demon wave, and the Roushan Demon used it to break through the defense of the city, and almost broke through the Pingle City.
The black lightning was extremely fast, and it came in front of Mengqi in a twinkling of an eye. Mengqi slightly leaned his body, and took the initiative to move his shoulder forward.
Bang! The black lightning broke into pieces, and the mist and pale golden light rose from Mengqi's shoulder, engulfing the scattered thin lightning.
Clang!
The sound of the zither sounded again, and Mengqi continued to shrink the ground into an inch. The long knife in his right hand was as steady as a mountain, and there was no sign of a counterattack.
The Roushan Demon was furious. He waved his hand, and a dark cloud floated out, covering the sky above Mengqi. Lightning struck down one after another, and at the same time, the Black Dragon of Demonic Flame, the bloody shadow, and the filthy black gas came one after another.
Clang!
Mengqi broke through the layers of spells, and stepped into the area within a hundred miles of the Roushan Demon. In other words, he had entered the guru realm of the Roushan Demon. However, there were only a few white and black marks on his body, and there was no sign of injury!
Seeing this, the Roushan Demon slammed the ground hard, and the ground shook. Black gas rose up, which was both illusory and solid. It looked like vines and poisonous snakes, and entangled Meng Qi from all directions. The Yin Qi was so dense and dirty that it could effectively offset and weaken other effects. This was the ability of his Field Domain, Ghost Rattan Sac of Nine Yin, which could restrict, weaken, and seal people into one.
Since the Roushan Demon had entered the range of the realm, it was time to go all out.
Clang!
The sound of the zither was fierce and orderly. Mengqi took a step forward, and his muscles bulged. He tore the black gas apart, and the long knife was still moving.
The Roushan Demon's fierce eyes finally showed some fear. He could not defeat this enemy at all!
Moreover, the realm was mutual. The range of the Roushan Demon's realm was also the range of the Roushan Demon's realm, and it was also the range of the Roushan Demon's sword.
However, Mengqi did not use his knife. He still approached the Roushan Demon step by step with the help of the sound of the zither, and the Roushan Demon was under great pressure.
"Roar!" The Roushan Demon finally could not bear it anymore, and he let out a deafening roar. The bulging mountain of flesh suddenly shrank, and a black light condensed in his palm. It floated flat like a disk without thickness, and its boundary was extremely thin, as if it could cut anything.
The Roushan Demon struggled to throw it out, and it instantly flashed in front of Mengqi.
Although Baozhen had never seen the Roushan Demon use this Taoist Method, he was shocked to see it from afar. It was even more powerful than the Nine Dragons Demonic Flame and the True Thunder of Destruction.
As the black light approached, Mengqi finally moved. He raised his left hand, which was as white as jade, and flicked his finger at the edge of the light.
With a poof, the black light broke into pieces, fell to the ground, and drilled into the ground, cutting a bottomless crack!
Mengqi rubbed his middle finger with his thumb, which was a little red, as if it was swollen. He looked at the Roushan Demon and said with a smile, "Not bad, you can make me feel a little pain now."
Clang!
The sound of the zither maintained the previous rhythm, and it had a kind of mechanical beauty. Mengqi took another step forward, and got closer to the Roushan Demon.
The Roushan Demon moved. He turned his body, and his feet seemed to be connected to the ground. He tried to run away, and his eyes were full of fear.
Where the hell did this monster come from?
Below the Dharmakaya level, he was even more powerful than the Nine Serenities's Devil of Gengjin, who was famous for his tough body!
Clang, clang, clang!
The sound of the zither suddenly sped up, and so did Mengqi's pace. With the Fire Blade of Ling Bao behind him, he took three steps at the same time, and soon he was behind the Roushan Demon.
The Light of Earth appeared, and it was about to cover the Roushan Demon.
Clang!
The sound of the zither changed again, and the silver screen was suddenly broken. The water burst out, and the killing intent soared to the sky.
Mengqi fiercely slashed forward with the orange long blade behind him. The void seemed to be frozen, and the Roushan Demon hit an invisible wall and was bounced back.
The Fire Blade of Ling Bao slashed on the back of the Roushan Demon. A red line of fire appeared, and it melted the protective black light, and burned the gray muscles. The long blade cut into the huge body of the Roushan Demon.
From the bottom to the top, a deep wound appeared on the back of the Roushan Demon. Through the wound, one could see the unharvested rice in the distance. The golden flame was raging, and everything inside the rice was ignited. The sizzling sound kept coming, as if oil was spilling out.
The Roushan Demon turned his head with difficulty, and looked behind him, and saw the wound that cut him in half.
A Heavenly Weapon?
The Roushan Demon's eyes were filled with fear, realization, and unwillingness. He slowly fell to the ground, and the ground shook violently.
On the city wall, all the experts of the Exterior and the enlightened Apertures masters, including the Castellan Baozhen, fell into silence. The Roushan Demon, who had once plundered this place, killed countless people, and brought nightmares and despair to the world, was easily killed by Meng Qi.
The young man, Leader Li, and the others could not see the specific situation of the battle, but they saw the hill-like figure falling down, and felt the shaking of the ground, and their minds went blank.
Qin Shuanglian let out a long sigh of relief. The Roushan Demon was indeed powerful. He did not even use his full strength, and the Roushan Demon fell down. Qin Shuanghua's expression changed. She was shocked, confused, and a little sad.
On the mountain in the distance, the man wearing the mask of Crape Myrtle Star stood on the edge of the cliff and witnessed the battle. He suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice, "Let's go. Don't provoke him."
The orange fire knife was so eye-catching that it was not difficult for people to guess the identity of the opponent. Since Su Meng used this knife, he was not afraid of exposing his identity. In today's situation, there were only a few Samsara travelers who had the strength to make things difficult for him.
Therefore, after watching the battle, Crape Myrtle Star chose to retreat and only focus on his task!
The woman wearing the mask of Queen Mother of the West looked back at Mengqi with strong hatred in her eyes. Then, she followed Crape Myrtle Star and the others and left the place.
Mengqi turned around, and the void shook. Suddenly, he appeared beside Jiang Zhiwei and the others, and said to Qin Shuanglian and Qin Shuanghua,
"The local crowd of demons has ended. Take us to the nearest crack of Nine Serenities."
The crowd of demons had ended many times, but the crack of Nine Serenities still existed, which meant that it was not easy to close it. Maybe there was a Dharmakaya level demon guarding the crack!
"The local crowd of demons has ended …" Qin Shuanglian and Qin Shuanglian murmured.
"It ended so soon …" Tears fell from their eyes, and they had the urge to cry to comfort their ancestors.
