Cheng Ling held Liu Qingyan tightly and hid at the corner of the mountain wall. When he saw dozens of men in black running past him, Liu Qingyan almost broke out in a cold sweat.
But it was not over yet. After the man in black passed by, the demon spirit outside the mountain road finally broke through the forbidden light curtain and rushed in.
Cheng Ling secretly screamed that it was not good. They were able to avoid being chased by the men in black. It was a typical "darkness under the light". Without the help of spiritual consciousness, they could not be seen with the naked eye in a dark environment.
But demon spirits are different. Who knows whether they rely on their eyes or scent to sense creatures. Once the traces of the two of them are discovered, there is no way to hide away from these many demon spirits.
At this point, we can only take a gamble! Cheng Ling gritted his teeth and while the demon spirit's attention was attracted by the man in black, he pulled Liu Qingyan and rushed towards the mountain road regardless.
He had long discovered that those demon spirits were all crowded at a corner on the upward mountain path. If he could get ahead of them and rush to the top of the mountain path, he could avoid them!
The scene is like a "human" character. The passage is located behind the intersection of the human character. The mountain road occupied by the demon spirit is one stroke of the human character. What Cheng Ling and Liu Qingyan want to enter is the other stroke of the human character. As long as Once inside, all the demon spirits on the other side can be thrown away.
Cheng Ling was completely racing against time, and in the end he just picked up Liu Qingyan and ran away. But their speed was still a little slow. Several demon spirits seemed to sense something, but instead of entering the passage, they turned around the mountain road and chased them.
Cheng Ling cursed in his heart. He was sure that these demon spirits were just as he expected. They not only relied on their eyes to see things, but also
Smell and other senses, otherwise it would be unexplainable why they would be found.
Cheng Ling ran as fast as she could, turning her head and looking back in her busy schedule. There were six demon spirits chasing after them. Their auras were powerful, at least at the peak of the six lines.
With one against six, this was no easy task. Besides, he had to protect Liu Qingyan, so he wasn't very sure. At the moment, he could only pretend not to see it and continue running towards the mountain road.
As they continued to advance, the mountain road gradually went up and the mountain became higher and higher. The mountain road that was originally a foot wide became narrow, and finally only allowed one person to pass.
Cheng Ling was refreshed. This was the best place to get rid of his pursuers. The narrow mountain road provides favorable geographical conditions. The six demon spirits cannot form an encirclement and can only fight one on one.
He put Liu Qingyan down from his back, raised his arm, pulled out the Han Light Sword, and stood on the side of the narrow mountain road!
Liu Qingyan said worriedly: "Cheng Ling, are you sure?"
Cheng Ling said: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid of one-on-one situations. At this point, I regret that there are too few demon spirits chasing after me. It's just the right time to improve my level."
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon spirit at the front rushed over. Cheng Ling lowered his waist and sat on the horse, thrust out his sword, and completely integrated his sword intention and physical strength, bringing out a sharp sword light, and started fighting with the demon spirit.
The demon spirits with seven lines are indeed not easy to deal with. Their attack, defense, speed, etc. are all one level higher than those with six lines. Especially for defense, the sword moves that combine sword intention and physical strength feel a little obscure when they are stabbed.
Cheng Ling secretly rejoiced at the mountain trail he chose. If it was in an open area, it wouldn't be too much. The demon spirit would be unable to resist as long as it kept coming. Even so, after the tea time, he was hit several times by demon spirits and his body was dripping with blood.
The narrow area is helpful for defense, but it also loses mobility. You cannot use your exquisite body skills and footwork, so you can only carry it hard. Once they retreat, the remaining demon spirits will swarm forward.
Liu Qingyan looked behind her and naturally discovered the predicament in front of her. She stepped forward, stretched out a palm and patted Cheng Ling's back gently.
Cheng Ling suddenly felt a cool and refreshing energy coming from his back, and the wound originally scratched by the demon spirit was healing quickly. He was refreshed, suddenly remembered the breath of life mentioned before, and suddenly woke up.
In fact, this kind of aura is also present in his body, which is the power of vitality. It's just that that kind of power is much inferior to Liu Qingyan's. It's like a stream and a big river. They are completely different. Could this be the result of her refining the Life Pillar? This is really unbelievable.
With such a strong breath of life, Zhang Chu did not need to find an antidote for the poison he was poisoned back then, and could be cured in an instant.
But he didn't know that Liu Qingyan could transmit a strong breath of life, but at a huge price. She did not completely transform the power of vitality. In other words, the seed representing life in the Dantian had just sprouted, and a large amount of its origin had been extracted before it could grow.
However, this kind of dedication provided Cheng Ling with a strong backing. He no longer had to worry about being too seriously injured, and his sword moves became more and more fierce. It was a lose-lose style of play.
These demon spirits must be killed as soon as possible. Once reinforcements arrive later, it will be troublesome.
Less than half an hour later, the first demon spirit was finally killed. But at this time, Liu Qingyan couldn't hold on anymore and had to put down the life breath transmission.
Cheng Ling turned around and saw that her face was pale, without a trace of blood, and her body was trembling slightly. He hurriedly said: "Qingyan, you need to rest and recover quickly. I will face the demon spirits alone later."
Liu Qingyan nodded, now even if she were to take action again, there was nothing she could do!
Cheng Ling absorbed a large ball of photoelectric energy, which not only restored his own consumption, but also greatly increased his physical strength. The original energy of the seven-line demon spirit is twice as high as that of the six-line demon spirit.
Moreover, his advantage has not changed, and he still firmly holds the narrow mountain road. The second demon spirit took another half an hour, but this time there was no help from Liu Qingyan.
Another ball of photoelectric energy was absorbed, and the body increased slightly. The third demon spirit spent less than half an hour. The fourth one, the fifth one, the sixth one...!
Finally..., all six demon spirits were killed. Cheng Ling knelt down on one knee, holding his body with his long sword and gasping for air. Killing six demon spirits in a row consumes a lot of physical strength, but what makes him happy is that the rewards are also huge.
Absorbing the original energy of the six groups of demon spirits with seven lines, the body is raised to the peak of six lines, and it can reach the seventh line just one step away. Moreover, under strong pressure, his sword intention and proficiency in sword moves have been greatly improved. This improvement has allowed him to understand the origin of swordsmanship more thoroughly, and he has faintly touched the fourth level of swordsmanship.
After resting for a long time, his physical strength was completely restored, and then Cheng Ling looked at Liu Qingyan. Seeing that her face looked better, he asked: "Qing Yan, what happened to that powerful breath of life just now? Are you okay?"
Liu Qingyan said: "Fortunately, it's just that it consumes a lot of money. After this consumption, the seeds that were about to germinate have returned to their newly conceived state. It seems that the life breath cannot be used easily, and it will be difficult to replenish it after it is consumed. ”
"Yeah! You said before that the valley next to the Wind Chaser Tribe also has a strong breath of life. Don't worry, we will go back when this thing is over, and we will eventually replenish it."
Liu Qingyan nodded, stood up and looked around, and said: "It's such a steep mountain. No wonder they all say that Fu Mountain is not easy to enter. It doesn't matter if the immortal essence is still there, but now I'm afraid not many people can survive it safely! "
Cheng Ling was silent for a while and asked, "Are you sure this is Fu Mountain?"
Liu Qingyan was very surprised that he would ask such a question and said: "Yes, the man in black who brought me here before and the man in black who I met later can confirm from their conversation that this is Fushan !”
"Fushan is the only passage to the Demon Spirit Plain, and the Demon Spirit Plain is the key to leaving the Demon Spirit Continent!" Cheng Ling murmured to himself, thinking constantly in his mind.
In the previous situation, the forbidden light curtain outside the passage was broken by himself. Next, there is no way to stop those crazy demon spirits, and the men in black in the passage should be in danger. If that is really the home of Wuying Tower, even if it is not destroyed, it will be severely damaged.
So where does the remaining mountain road lead to? Could it be that it leads to the Demon Spirit Plain!
He suddenly became excited. If his guess was correct, his trip to the Demon Spirit Continent would be complete.
He told his speculation to Liu Qingyan, who asked after listening: "If that road really leads to the Demon Spirit Plain, we leave, but what will Zhang Hu and the others do?"
Cheng Ling smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we are just confirming this trip. Once the method of leaving is clear, we will immediately turn around and bring them here. By the way, we will tell the sword tiger tribe the news and completely destroy the Shadowless Tower!"
Liu Qingyan said: "Now that you have decided, let's go and investigate!"
Cheng Ling smiled slightly, stopped in front of her, and walked up the mountain road first.
The mountain road is very narrow, with rugged rocks on the ground, and rock protrusions from time to time on the mountain wall. In some places, you need to turn sideways to pass smoothly.
After walking for more than an hour, the two finally passed through the narrow area, and the passage ahead gradually became wider. However, the sky gradually darkened, and before long, the scene ahead changed drastically.
I saw a statue that was as tall as a person standing in the middle of the mountain road. The statue was lifelike, as if it were a real person, but its image looked very much like a demon spirit with two heads and horns.
Not only that, a full moon suddenly appeared in the sky. But the strange thing is that the moon is actually cyan, as if it is hanging above the head. Under the moonlight, a layer of faint cyan smoke filled the statue. The smoke dispersed in the air, brewing and rolling, and finally turned into a cyan two-horned demon spirit.
Cheng Ling's face was solemn. The aura of this demon spirit was stronger than the previous six, and it seemed to contain an extremely terrifying power, making people afraid to approach easily.
But if we want to continue moving forward, this demon spirit obstacle must be eliminated!
Cheng looked up and down and saw that the demon spirit's body was almost unreal, and he didn't know whether it was real or not. He gritted his teeth and finally walked over.
Before he could get close, the demon spirit opened its eyes suddenly, and a pair of blue demon eyes shined brightly, as if they were about to pierce the entire void.
Liu Qingyan's heart was shaken, and she pushed back a few steps. As she stepped back, blood flowed out from her mouth. She was seriously injured just by looking at him. She quickly looked away, not daring to look again.
"Qingyan!" Cheng Ling exclaimed and stopped in front of her, facing the demon spirit's gaze, blocking all sight.
He was horrified. Although Qing Yan had lost all his cultivation, his vision was still there. Even he felt the crisis. The demon spirit in front of him was by no means a simple thing.
With a move of his right hand, he quickly pulled out the Han Light Sword and said coldly: "Since you want her life, be prepared to bear my anger!"
