The soaring black demonic energy gathered in mid-air.
What seemed to be thin black clouds covered the nearby mountains, rivers, and hundreds of streams, cutting off the red radiance of the two bright suns in the sky.
Through this layer of demonic energy, the originally blazing sunlight was reduced to an extremely weak level, forming streaks of light in mid-air, illuminating the strange-shaped trees and vegetation.
Above the undulating mountains, the mountain wind howls.
The shadows of the trees swayed, the stubborn weeds growing on the ground danced wildly, and the vibrating sound as dense as a drum came from far to near.
The nearby mountains seemed to tremble, and huge spirits emerged from the distant mountains under the dim light. Soon, they were all over the mountains and fields in groups.
The spirits and monsters came over the mountains and ridges, accompanied by waves of flying dust, and rushed towards the cave of the evil dragon demon king.
This group of spirits, birds, and animals, including fish, turtles, shrimps, and genus. A rough count, I'm afraid there are no less than five hundred, and the evil spirit around them is not that strong.
But when they gathered together, the demonic energy emitted by the spirits gathered together and seemed to turn into a demonic cloud, floating forward against the undulating mountain shape.
Right at the very back of this demonic cloud.
A huge buffalo spirit, carrying a feathered bird on its back, lowered its head and followed the spirits. Every time its thick hooves landed, they left deep hoofprints in the dark soil and rocks below.
On the back of the buffalo spirit, under a layer of water curtain illusion, Gu Qing sat cross-legged, with a hint of light black breath on his fingertips.
This faint, light black aura that seemed to be about to dissipate was the demonic aura that Gu Qing had just popped up with his spiritual consciousness and captured from the surroundings.
'This demonic energy is somewhat different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the difference is not big...' Gu Qing waved away the demonic aura, thoughtfully.
Human monks absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refine it into spiritual power for their own use. Demon cultivators also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but refine it into demonic energy for their own use. The difference may not seem big, but why do demonic cultivators possess demonic energy? , after it escapes from the body, won't it quickly disappear between heaven and earth like the spiritual power of human monks?
Gu Qing raised his head slightly and glanced at the demonic layer above.
'In addition...there is no aura of heaven and earth in this world. How do these demon clans cultivate demon aura? Just rely on swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon...' After thinking to no avail, Gu Qing shook his head slightly and withdrew his gaze.
In his eyes, there were five colored spiritual lights twining and flickering, condensing around his pupils and turning into teeth, and then he looked forward intently.
Then he saw a column of demonic energy like a billowing column of smoke rising about fifty or sixty miles ahead. This column of demonic aura continued to merge into the demonic aura layer above.
The closer one gets to the demonic energy rising like a billowing column of smoke, the thicker the layer of demonic aura above becomes and the darker the color becomes.
'Such abundant demon energy...' Gu Qing's pupils shrank, 'It seems that this is where the evil dragon demon king's cave is'
'According to what the fox demon Ye Xin said, the inner alchemy realm of demon cultivators is divided into six levels. I don't know which level the evil dragon demon king here is...'
Gu Qing's gaze gradually upwards, looking at the thick layer of dark demonic energy. As Gu Qing came to the vicinity of the Evil Dragon King's Cave, there was no daylight around him, and he could almost reach the point where he couldn't see his fingers.
'Don't demon cultivators absorb the essence of the sun and moon to practice? Gu Qing remembered the scene he saw on the deck of Ye Xin on the deck while riding the spirit boat on the Long Qian River.
'Such a thick layer of demonic energy blocks out the sunlight, and naturally also blocks out the moonlight. How do the nearby demon clans harvest the sun essence and moonlight...'
Gu Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.
The five or sixty miles of mountain road, it took the spirits about ten breaths of effort to cross it, and a low valley where the evil dragon demon king lived suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qing's eyes.
The depression in front is in the shape of a long strip, surrounded by wide steps like stairs, allowing the spirits to descend into the depression.
The depression is 20 to 30 feet long, and the ground inside is flat. In the center is a valley that is 50 to 60 feet high. This valley is long and cylindrical. The mountains on both sides are curved, and the width is about 500 feet. It runs no less than five thousand feet in length, and looks like the shed skin of some snake-like beast.
Before the arrival of this wave of spirits, there were already many spirits coming from other directions outside the valley. Several of them had auras that were comparable to those of monks in the early stage of human race's foundation building.
Gu Qing swept through these breaths one by one.
'There are six demon cultivators who are equivalent to human monks in the early stage of foundation building, and they should all be at the first level of the inner alchemy realm. Gu Qing only glanced at it roughly and didn't look at it for long. After scanning around, he pulled his gaze back and turned to look at the smooth-haired buffalo spirit under the seat.
"Although these six demons have transformed into some human forms, there are no dragons among them. Is that evil dragon demon king in the valley..." Gu Qing stood up, stepped out, and landed on the suspended Nine Wonders of Heaven. Above the treasure wheel, it slowly rose into the sky and approached the valley ahead.
At this time, there were no less than two thousand spirits gathered outside the valley. Among the demon cultivators above the spirits, there were only the six that Gu Qing had just discovered.
These six demon cultivators are divided into two groups.
One of them is a tiger, a bear, and a leopard, all of which have transformed into animal heads and human bodies. At this moment, they are gathering together on the left side of the valley, arms around each other, and they seem to have a good relationship.
The other group is a crane, a turtle and a rat.
The crane, the turtle, and the mouse have not yet transformed into human forms. Although they are also gathered together on the right side of the valley, they do not show any intimacy.
As Gu Qing got closer to the valley, the six demons, first the crane demon preening its feathers, glanced around with its narrow golden pupils, and then the other five demons also noticed something was wrong, and huge waves of Demon consciousness swept around.
'I wonder if these monsters will notice...' Gu Qing looked very interested, and stopped moving forward for the time being. Instead, he stopped in mid-air, closed his eyes, and used all his strength to activate the Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flower Wheel.
The golden light of the Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flowers wheel bloomed, like water flowing, submerging Gu Qing's whole body, and the illusion like a water curtain around him became more and more real.
The six demons put out their demonic consciousness and scanned the surroundings for several times. When they found that there was nothing unusual, they retracted their demonic consciousness and communicated with each other through sound transmission.
"Then the old dragon kidnapped so many humans this time, why did he only take the sewers after disemboweling them, and then give us the fresh meat for free? This thing seems a bit weird to me." The turtle demon looked like It is not big, only one or two feet long, and its big eyes look at the Crane Demon solemnly.
"Old turtle, how can you not know the nature of that evil dragon? It's just using the human race's sewer to make elixirs... The granddaughter of the White Snake King is a first-class disaster! Hey, if this evil dragon doesn't get some elixirs Eat as much as you want, I'm afraid you'll be exhausted within two days..."
The gentle female voice of the crane demon sounded in the turtle demon's ears.
The turtle demon nodded thoughtfully and continued: "With so many human beings kidnapped this time, we need to marinate them raw. We need to eat these human flesh slowly and eat them for a few more years..." …The human race in Dingzhou, the Bodhi Temple and the Sword Worshiping Mountain are not easy to mess with. If so many human races are secretly kidnapped this time, I’m afraid it won’t end well.”
"What's so delicious about human meat?" The Crane Demon, who was used to eating vegetarian food, felt a little disgusted when he heard this. He moved his thin legs and took a few steps back.
"Why, Fairy He is so pitiful to the human race, why didn't she take action to stop the old dragon during the slaughter? Haha, just allow the human race to eat my beasts, but not allow my beasts to eat their human race? How can there be such a truth in this world!" The turtle demon sneered when he saw this.
"When did I have the nickname Crane Fairy? And when did I say I pitied those humans? Old turtle, don't spit on people with your blood!" Crane Demon retorted.
In mid-air on the right side of the valley.
Gu Qing, who once again drove the Nine Wonders Heavenly Flower Wheel and approached the valley, glanced at the turtle and crane below who were communicating with demon consciousness, and then his eyes focused on the valley where a corner of the valley could be seen as he approached.
The pieces of white flesh hung upside down on the copper pillars were swaying with the wind whistling through the valley, making them dazzling.
These white pieces of flesh are all human race, men, women, old and young. They have not been skinned, but the blood has been drained, the hair has faded, the heads have been chopped off, the limbs have been broken, and they are tied with thorns. , on each distorted face, the facial features have been removed, leaving a few holes.
Blood was still seeping out from each hole.
It was like the large pork shops that Gu Qing had seen before in the ordinary world. However, the way these monsters processed the 'meat' was somewhat different from the pork shops that Gu Qing had seen before.
Gu Qing's expression immediately changed slightly.
His heart was filled with rage, murderous intent surged in his chest, and he even had the urge to kill all the monsters around him.
"Since the human race in this world coexists with the demon race, something like this is bound to happen." On the one hand, Gu Qing felt the raging murderous intent, but on the other hand, he was very calm. He did not act on his impulse.
At this time, in the valley ahead, a heavy footsteps came, and a loud voice sounded.
"Hahaha... It's really a blessing for Hao that you can come here today!" A figure with a snake head and a body two or three feet tall slowly walked out of the valley, with a pair of narrow snake eyes that were dark gold in color. , the vertical pupils inside are cold and chilling.
According to Gu Qing's perception, the aura of this demon cultivator with the body of a snake is comparable to that of a monk in the late stages of foundation building in the human race. He should be a demon cultivator at the third level of the inner alchemy realm.
His cold eyes looked around, and the noisy spirits suddenly became quiet as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.
A light figure, following the snake-headed demon cultivator, walked out at this moment, with a graceful figure like a boneless snake, and got into the arms of the snake-headed demon cultivator - this was a tall and stunning figure. A demon cultivator who looks like a woman, her cultivation is at the first level of the aura inner alchemy realm.
Whether it is the demon cultivator with a snake head or the demon cultivator who transformed into a beautiful woman, they are all wearing a bright red robe, the style is similar to the wedding dress of the human race. In addition to this simple bright red robe, The two demons stood barefoot and did not wear any other clothes.
"Your Majesty." The rat demon on the side of the valley climbed up at this time, transformed into a short old man, and stepped forward to speak.
The demon cultivator with a snake head ordered the rat demon: "According to the list given to you before, let the demons enter the valley, and the remaining demons... give out a hundred pieces of firewood and meat, and let them eat outside."
"Yes." The rat demon nodded and bowed.
Then, with a solemn expression, the rat demon turned to look at the demons outside the valley: "The demons come forward to pay tribute based on the size of their territory, and then enter the valley for the banquet!"
The rat demon is not big, but these words spread around with demonic consciousness, and the huge sound thundered, resounding in the ears of all the demons, and even frightened a few weak demons and rolled their eyes.
The demons outside the valley were in commotion for a while, and then the group of demons that occupied the largest territory and were the most powerful lined up in an orderly manner.
The demon cultivator with a snake head and human body, holding the frail and boneless beauty, stood outside the valley and looked around. All the demons that looked at him, whether they were the six demons that had entered the inner elixir realm, or other spirits. , all of them were shocked and bowed their heads respectfully.
'Um? 'As if he noticed something was wrong, the demon cultivator's wandering eyes finally landed in mid-air.
"Ha... Your Excellency's strength is quite good, but your eyesight is really lacking." A clear voice suddenly exploded in mid-air.
Buzz!
A majestic spiritual consciousness swept across the surroundings, suppressing the blowing wind and causing waves of invisible fluctuations in the air.
These invisible waves were like ocean waves, and the spirits outside the valley fell to the ground with just one wave of impact.
However, in the blink of an eye, less than half of the more than two thousand spirits outside the valley fell to the ground and fell into a coma under the impact of Gu Qing's spiritual consciousness. The remaining spirits were also driven crazy by the impact of spiritual consciousness and began to attack the surroundings indiscriminately. Everything outside the valley instantly fell into chaos.
Among the eight inner alchemy realm demon cultivators, seven demon cultivators all stared solemnly into the air, each emitting billowing demonic aura, and stared at the surroundings warily. Only the demon cultivator with a snake head among them, that is, The Evil Dragon King snorted coldly as the golden light in his golden eyes surged.
"snort!"
"Young man, show yourself to me!" The ground beneath the Evil Dragon King suddenly shattered, and his figure appeared in mid-air as if teleporting.
The Evil Dragon King just landed a seemingly ordinary punch, and the scene in mid-air turned black, followed by a clicking sound like a broken mirror.
boom!
The majestic fist wind swept across in all directions, and deep ravines were quietly formed under the evil dragon king's fist. They were torn light, and the air flow was cut off by the sudden huge force!
The strong wind dispersed, forcing all the monsters around to retreat. A figure shrouded in golden light was forcibly forced out of the air by the Evil Dragon King's punch. It flew several hundred feet backwards like floating catkins and crashed into the valley.
Bang!
On the arc-shaped mountain wall on one side of the valley, the sound figure shrouded in golden light smashed into it, leaving a deep hole with white smoke.
The Evil Dragon King narrowed his eyes.
'This person...is a little weird. '
'Not like the third realm cultivators from the human race...'
He was filled with surprise and uncertainty, and he moved and crashed into the hole. But as soon as he entered the hollow, his eyes suddenly opened wide.
At this moment, the Evil Dragon King saw a sword light!
What kind of sword light is that? !
It seemed to contain an unparalleled sharp aura. Just seeing this sword light, the Evil Dragon King felt that his eyes were as if they had been scratched by the sword energy, and he had to close them with blood and tears. Without thinking, the demon around him Qi surged wildly, and a large number of dark golden scales appeared on the body, and then two arms covered with dark golden scales suddenly blocked in front of him.彡彡
clang!
throat!
The purple sword light fell on the evil dragon king's chest.
There was a crisp sword cry, followed by the dull sound of the sword blade entering flesh. The Evil Dragon King's face was full of horror, and his body was uncontrollably thrown out of the valley, and he was forced out of the valley along the hole behind him.
"Ah... hateful human cultivator! He came to cause trouble on my king's happy day. It is really abominable! Everyone, follow me and kill him quickly!" The evil dragon king's whole body was shrouded in black energy, and his figure swelled. He spoke with demon consciousness and roared crazily.
Boom!
The Evil Dragon King's voice was still echoing in the depression, and his figure had already flown backwards over a thousand feet, smashing into the earth and rocks on one side of the depression.
With a pop of purple sword light, it passed through the earth and rocks and went straight out of the valley. It was caught in the hands of the person shrouded in five-color spiritual light who walked out of the valley.
Gu Qing held the Purple Lightning Flying Sword and walked towards the evil dragon king who had been chopped off. He had transformed into the old Taoist Gu Yunqing again. His face was full of indifference and he didn't even look at the monsters around him.
The seven Inner Alchemy Realm demons outside the valley changed their expressions when they saw that the Evil Jiao King was beaten back. Four of them turned around and ran away regardless of what the Evil Jiao King said. The remaining three demons transformed into In their original form, they attacked Gu Qing with their sharp claws, sharp horns, or fangs.
Gu Qing's eyesight went dark, and his field of vision was already shrouded by the overwhelming demonic energy. The three demons' true forms were billowing with demonic aura, each of which was hundreds of feet in size. Before the attack could even land, the power they emitted was already shaking and cracking the earth. , the nearby little demons that were unable to escape were swept away by the chaotic demonic energy, and turned into blood mist.
"The chickens and dogs are here to stop me." Gu Qing didn't even raise his eyelids, and the hand holding the Purple Lightning Flying Sword didn't move at all.
I saw five colors of spiritual power flowing rapidly around him, and in an instant, only the red fire spiritual power was left!
The fire spiritual power flew around his body, and in an instant it turned into a blazing flame, forming a very strong flame vortex!
The incandescent color in the center of the flame vortex emitted countless ribbon-like fiery snakes, which swirled around and turned the surrounding earth and rocks into magma. The valley behind collapsed, and the forest of copper pillars standing inside it were dissolved. A white human body turned into ashes and dispersed as soon as it came into contact with the incandescent flames of the fire snake.
The three attacking demons were in severe pain. The demonic aura around them flew away, and black wounds quickly appeared on their huge bodies.
But the attacks of the three monsters finally landed, but the moment they came into contact with Gu Qing's figure, they were suddenly deflected by a black light curtain that suddenly condensed.
In Gu Qing's hand, a small black seal was slowly rotating. This small black seal was his Tongshan Seal!
Then he saw a large amount of black light scattering above the Tongshan Seal, as if a layer of black illusory mountain shape had condensed around him, easily withstanding the attacks of the three demons!
Gu Qing casually threw out the Tongshan Seal. The Tongshan Seal was long in the wind, and the black light on it suddenly became a hundred times more intense as Gu Qing's majestic spiritual power was poured into it. The black mountain shape expanded rapidly, covering the surrounding area for nearly a thousand feet, and the black light that had just been knocked back was The three demon bags are empty.
boom!
The huge Tongshan Seal fell.
Like a huge peak descending from the sky, it filled up the depression on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the earth surged like water, and countless mountains collapsed around it. The three demons who bore the brunt first had their eyes bulging out, and then their bodies shrank rapidly. Even their whines could only be hidden in their hearts. In just an instant, It was crushed into minced meat!
