Six people and one demon fought fiercely in the valley. Rocks cracked and trees toppled. Amidst the billowing dust, the roars of the demon could be heard from time to time.
After several hours of fighting, the entire valley was a mess. The Iron Thornback Demon Centipede screamed in pain as the Ghost Infant bit its left leg. However, the demon centipede was able to send the Ghost Infant flying with a stomp of its foot.
After fighting for so long, this was the first time the attack was effective. Lu Xiaotian and the others were very excited. Lu Xiaotian waved his hand. The Misty Sword flashed in the air. It seemed slow but was actually fast. In the blink of an eye, it appeared at the spot where the Iron Thornback Demon Centipede was bitten by the Ghost Infant. It slashed viciously, barely cutting open the tough skin of the demon centipede and drawing out a string of blood.
"Well done!" Xiang Sicheng shouted when he saw Lu Xiaotian's swift attack. When he used the Fire Dragon Bow and Arrow, his Misty Sword attack was not inferior to the Ghost Infant Monk and Old Monster Mu. Especially that spiritual sword that was almost transparent. Its aura was far superior to that of an ordinary Inner Core magical item.
"I used two Inner Core magical items at the same time. Although the attack power is not small, it consumes a lot of my transcendence energy. If you are still hiding and mocking me, I will be leaving after this wave. "
Lu Xiaotian said coldly. He was not trying to scare these people. In fact, this meaningless battle of attrition was depleting his Primordial Spirit very quickly. Facing a tenth-grade demon, the ninth-grade Primordial Spirit that Lu Xiaotian had prepared could not withstand the consumption at all.
"Brother Lu, why do you say that? Look at my North River Nether Needles! " Xiang Sicheng laughed loudly. His eyes turned blue. Snowflakes even appeared in his eyes. It was a very strange sight.
As Xiang Sicheng waved his hand, nine three-foot-long blue ice needles as thick as an arm floated in the air. A slightly longer ice needle was in the middle. The other eight were arranged in a ring around it.
Cold air floated around each ice needle. Even Du Fenghu and Old Monster Mu, who were a little closer, felt a strong sense of discomfort.
With a buzzing sound, the aura of the surrounding eight ice needles flashed and struck the ice needle in the middle. The ice needle let out a soft hum and a ten-meter-long pillar of ice fell from the sky, carrying an imposing aura that caused Lu Xiaotian's expression to change. In a flash of cold light, it struck the Iron Thornback Demon Centipede.
"Lu Daoyou is right. We don't know when this kind of war of attrition will come to an end. The Iron Thornback Demon Centipede in front of us can't hold on much longer. If this drags on for too long, who knows if someone will rush over and try to take advantage of us? Let's take this gamble, get the Nascent Soul Fruit, and leave."
Old Freak Mu let out a strange cry. He, who originally had the air of an immortal, suddenly had the air of a demon. As he cried out in pain, a tentacle stretched out from his back. Then, several thick red tentacles crawled on Old Freak Mu's back. Each tentacle had a scarlet eye. Countless tiny tentacles grew from its mouth, but it had no teeth.
At this moment, Old Freak Mu's eyes were also scarlet.
"Accompanying Demon Centipede!" Lu Xiaotian and the others were shocked and hurriedly retreated. This Accompanying Demon Centipede was extremely evil. It was not natural, but cultivated by its master according to an evil cultivation method. It absorbed the spiritual power of its master and shared the same life with its master. Its attack power was extremely strong, and at the same time, it could change Old Freak Mu's weakness of being afraid of spiritual fire.
It almost doubled Old Freak Mu's attack power. However, other than the main body, the Accompanying Demon Centipede viewed everyone else as an enemy. Once they got too close, it was normal for them to be attacked.
And for cultivators who cultivated this Accompanying Demon Centipede, unless they directly killed the Accompanying Demon Centipede, even if they chopped off its head, as long as it was not too long ago, Old Freak Mu could reattach it. As for the limbs, they were even more ordinary.
But in the end, they could not escape death. Unless they completed a breakthrough within a certain number of years and satisfied the growth of the Accompanying Demon Centipede, they would eventually be sucked dry of their blood essence by the Accompanying Demon Centipede and die as a human skin. In the records, most people who cultivated this evil thing did not die at the hands of their enemies, but died from the backlash of the Accompanying Demon Centipede.
The red tentacles bared their fangs and brandished their claws, wildly sweeping towards the Iron Spikeback Demon Centipede. With the cover of Xiang Sicheng's North River Styx, just as Lu Xiaotian's Ethereal Flying Sword was repelled, the tentacles wrapped around the right leg that was injured by Lu Xiaotian's Flying Sword. The tentacles of the demon centipede screamed excitedly and plunged into the wound made by the Ethereal Flying Sword.
The Iron Spikeback Demon Centipede cried out in pain. It stomped its right leg madly and spat out destructive Spirit Fire from its mouth. In his impression, this white-bearded old man had always been afraid of the Spirit Earth Flame. But when the Spirit Fire poured onto the tentacles, the tentacles screamed and twitched incessantly, but it was not repelled. Instead, it tightened its grip around the Iron Spikeback Demon Centipede.
The human-shaped ghost saw that the opportunity could not be missed. The five White Bone Falcons transformed in the air and transformed into a huge gray Beast-Head Bow. The five White Bone Falcons suddenly fell apart in the air, turning into sections of white bones. But the white bones quickly reassembled on the Beast-Head Bow, turning into an incomparably huge bone arrow. With a whoosh, it shot towards the Iron Spikeback Demon Centipede's abdomen together with Lu Xiaotian's Fire Serpent Arrow.
"Clang …" The two arrows hit the Iron Spikeback Demon Centipede as expected. Lu Xiaotian's Spiritual Sense moved, and the supernatural power attached to the Fire Serpent Arrow exploded. Huge balls of flames scorched the demon centipede's skin. After the human-shaped ghost's White Bone Arrow pierced the Iron Spikeback Demon Centipede's body, the White Bone Arrow seemed to be able to suck blood. Its mouth swelled and contracted as it sucked blood. The white bones were turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Iron Spikeback Demon Centipede raised its head and let out a deafening roar of anger. Its body suddenly crouched down. Khaki and crimson radiance flickered on the demon centipede's body one after another.
"Crack." The icicle shot out by the North River Nether Needle that hit the demon centipede began to shatter. Amidst two muffled grunts, Old Monster Mu and the White Bone Arrow that pierced the demon centipede's body were sent flying backward. Du Fenghu, Slayer Infant Monk, and Lu Xiaotian's Ethereal Flying Swords were also sent flying.
"Pfft." Lu Xiaotian spat out a mouthful of blood. When he looked at the others, they were in the same situation as him. Each of them had sustained injuries that were neither light nor heavy.
"Whoosh, whoosh …" The radiance on the Iron Spikeback Demon Centipede's body flashed explosively again. The spikes on its back left its body. Dozens of spikes shot toward Lu Xiaotian and the others. The sound of the spikes tearing through the air was even louder than an ordinary Core Essence Artifact.
Lu Xiaotian was shocked. He hastily recalled his Ethereal Flying Swords. At the same time, his body flashed explosively in the air as he rapidly changed directions. He dodged the spikes' pursuit.
However, the spikes shot out by the Iron Spikeback Demon Centipede were not so easy to deal with. He successfully dodged them once, but these spikes only made a turn in the air before they came back for him again.
